Homeopathy is a bunch of crap.

but is he?

Someone was climbing on it yesterday. Who knows what that means though.

People need to quit this nonsense. Of course it's what he thinks. He wrote it. Not everything needs a disclaimer. Lightning, as you're probably realizing, everyone has their own approach. As long as you have some sunglasses that shield most of your field of vision from the sun, you'll be OK in most conditions. A little duct tape can always save your ass. You might come back from a trip and realize you want something other than what you've got. If it's sunnier you want something darker. All makes sense, right? That'll get you started, and you'll figure out what works through more experience.

I don't think about altitude. I think about how much of what I'm looking at is snow, and whether it is or isn't cloudy.

yes- you don't have to own a tv either.

OOH GOOD POINT CBS

Doesn't everything in Fairbanks suck?

You said "math" and then you said "unlucky". It's one or the other, get your shit straight.

Why does the Marmite jar have a picture of a Marmite jar on it?

I got sketched out when I first saw these things. Didn't anyone else?

Learning this stuff is difficult, there seem to be so few signs that lead to a clear-cut "yes" or "no". We saw a bunch of people up there that day on terrain that looked a lot sketchier than what you were doing. Glad nothing bad happened.

I was up there that day with a big Mounties' avalanche class. We had dug a rutschblock and it failed on 2, but there was a fair amount of uncertainty about how we should interpret this- the failure was just the 6 or 8 inches of unconsolidated soft upper snow sliding over the hard rain crust below. Once that had sloughed off we got back on the block and wailed on it, and could not get that to fail. One of the instructors said he would probably still be willing to ski a slope under these conditions, since the unstable layer was so unconsolidated, and our tests didn't show failures propagating anywhere. He thought an avalanche would be mostly a point-release type of situation, and without a lot of momentum. Sounds like your experience sort of backs that up?

Maybe you can work out a deal with this guy.

Myself, racsom, and his buddy, are going down to El Potrero Chico just after Christmas. Climbing with 3 people is always a little more awkward. If you're going to be down there too and have an odd number of people in your party (or even if you don't) give me a shout.

I just wanted to say that I bought the down jacket and pants from Bob, they arrived promptly and were exactly what I had been promised. As far as I'm concerned he's 100% reputable.

either that or you live in Oregon. Like he said.

Definitely a worthier effort! Still though, it descended into boring cliche at the end. "Ha ha ha, guys aren't good in bed!" Zzzzzzzzzzz.

Men and women alike should bristle at reading unfunny bullshit like this.

CLIMBED OUT

Sure! I bet you can have a great deal of fun, actually.

Why? They're a novelty, right? You have to drink them with no hands? You just like alcohol you can play with?

Radical!

That still doesn't seem to work for me... the link still goes to the individual comment and has the title of the individual comment, rather than the thread's title.

Yeah... unless I'm missing something this is a big step backwards. What's the difference between the little yellow arrow link and the subject title link now?
